Brillouin lasing in coupled silica toroid microcavities

Yoshihiro Honda, Wataru Yoshiki, Tomohiro Tetsumoto +4

We demonstrate stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) lasing in a strongly coupled microcavity system. By coupling two silica toroid microcavities, we achieve large mode splitting o…

The effect on Kerr comb generation in a clockwise and counter-clockwise mode coupled microcavity

Shun Fujii, Atsuhiro Hori, Takumi Kato +5

We study the impact of inherent mode coupling between clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) modes on Kerr comb generation in a small whispering-gallery mode microcavity. Our n…

All-optical switching using Kerr effect in a silica toroid microcavity

Wataru Yoshiki, Takasumi Tanabe

We demonstrate experimentally an all-optical switching operation using the Kerr effect in a silica toroid microcavity. Thanks to the small mode volume and high quality factor of th…

Rigorous analysis of bistable memory in silica toroid microcavity

Wataru Yoshiki, Takasumi Tanabe

We model the nonlinear response of a silica toroid microcavity using coupled mode theory and a finite element method, and successfully obtain Kerr bistable operation that does not…

Polygonal silica toroidal microcavity for controlled optical coupling

Takumi Kato, Wataru Yoshiki, Takasumi Tanabe

We fabricated polygonal silica toroidal microcavities to achieve stable mechanical coupling with an evanescent coupler such as a tapered fiber. The polygonal cavity was fabricated…
